    CNAW Newsroom —
    Man injured on Lee Road 197 after vapors from cardboard fire flash back on him

    A Lee County man is in unknown condition after suffering burn injuries on Lee Road 197 around 3:35 PM eastern time.

    Lee County Sheriff Jay Jones confirms the man was burning cardboard in his yard using gasoline to fuel the fire and the vapors flashed back and he was burned.

    We understand a Lifesaver helicopter landed on the scene and transported him to a nearby burn unit for treatment.

    This is the second person to suffer from burn injuries in Lee County in 48 hours. The first incident occurred on Sunday, March 27th on Highway 51.
